Supported Pilot Manufacturing and working on assigned commodities and the suppliers. Developed and managed suppliers and supported R&D projects. Ensured on-time material flow. Working on weekly shortage meetings with co-workers brought the team closer. Great direct management and leadership. Did not experience the hard part of the job. Learned in depth with the ERP system.

You build all the whole time you are there. Even though the shifts are long they go by fast. Not everyone is at the same skill level, so it can be frustrating at times when the lower skilled employees are not expected to do much.

This company has potential for big growth but it seems to be reactionary to processes and trends vs. being proactive orthe process of planning projects and capital investment. They don't fully vest ideas but throw money at it and wonder why it doesn't work

This is my second ultimate goal after SAFETY at workplace. LAM is an exciting place to work. There are lot of challenges thru out the day where you get to work with customers freight forwarders and internal customers.

The Manager that hired me left and the group moved to Fremont.The Fremont managers were so hostile towards the San Jose people it was sad. My contract had ended but they requested I stay on.They seem to have a very top heavy culture.

Lam is a great company with successful core values. Management is in tune with the work force and the culture is very good. It has been a challenging place to work with opportunities to advance. I have enjoyed my time with Lam and look forward to more successes.Overall, a great experience.

It's a terrible place to work if you are a contractor. The company laid off a US citizen employee and gave the job to India. "The priority is India", I was told be the Director.

A typical day at work - You work, work, and work many many hours without compensation after 8 hoursWhat you learned - to be submissive Management - Micromanagement, critical, you are not protected if you are not the same race as the manager. Co-workers - Back stabbing The hardest part of the job - didn't feel free to do the job. Someone always watching over your shoulder, scolding you, correcting you...The most enjoyable part of the job - Time to go home

Lam is in the very cyclical semiconductor, capital equipment industry, that means every few years they will be hiring a lot of people and then a few years after that they will be firing them. You need to accept that if you take a job there. The high margins and cyclicality of the industry translates to average salary + excellent bonus, profit sharing, stock compensation potential. When times are good, the profits get shared. Their is a hierarchical, militaristic, good old boy, structure to senior management which translates to a fast moving environment for employee's. It is interesting work and you will learn, though not as much maybe as at a smaller less will established company. In the boom phase you will be working hard because you are in a boom, in the bust phase you will be working hard because a lot of people got laid off and you are understaffed.

Learning the aspects and precisions of manufacturing. Specific calibrations and quality inspection. Well teamed and organized management. Detailed rule out of descriptive job duties and responsibilities. Great workers and team on production and meeting all company goals.
